Very Endearing Japanese Monkey Hand Puppet satin glaze I really can't imagine any

I really can't imagine any better soap dish for next to the bathroom sink or on the lip of the tub than this one

On the sides of each are a brown spotted stag

head and two paws raised as if begging you for a treat

is signed at the bottom but I am uncertain of its maker

Very Endearing Japanese Monkey Hand Puppet satin glaze I really can't imagine anyThat face! Everything about this homely monkey hand puppet seems just to cry out "love me!," and the fact that he seems to have had a pretty rough life pulls at my heart strings even more. I believe his head is made of plaster, which has some small chips in it, and from which some of the brown paint has worn off. His body is sewn of flannel, with a few spots and stains and one loose seam at the neck, but very soft and still holding together everywhere
